Cloudy (normally) from Sept. through April. Bad for seasonal
affective disorder (which I may or may not have) -- hopefully
genetic testing will tell sometime soon.

The point I was, perhaps unsuccessfully, trying to make is that
when the theories get to the point that you have to scratch this
universe and/or create a new one to run the experiment, the pursuit
of TOE(s) gets rather pointless precisely because you can't test them.
(I assume that even as 'gods' we don't get to create universes --
though we do get to take this one 'to the limits' (which is very very
far indeed)).
Cool though that you are doing dissertations on areas like this and
presenting them to academics less aware of the ideas.
As Max would say -- Onward!
